Gam bling and Racing.
From the Saturday Reuie,c.

FROM tHe SIJUfduD heciefc.
Gambling and racing are great stumbling
blocks in young mans career now. Many men
think that they can increase their limited income
by a recourse to these pursuits; and how many
poor young fellows have disappeared from the
ken of men through this unhappy belief! Luck
very often attends these, when they are feeling
but it is like the willo wisp, which is pretty
sure to lead them to their destruction il they
have not the moral courage to take pull when
they are getting out of their depth. II only
wants study of the betting ring to assure men
of common sense that backing horses in the
long run means coming to grief. The ring in
creases daily in numbers and prosperity. None
of the old faces disappear except by death,
while new ones are continually Joining latter
sails, and apparently prospecting, so il must
be obvious that they were doing well and
making money-but how? at the expense of the
hacker. But the numbers of men who have
taken to racing. and who have succumbed, is
enormous, while those who have made anything
by it could be counted on the fingers of one
hand. The same may be said of gambling, with
this additional advantage, or we might say
disgrace, that when young mon play, as they
frequently do, for higher stakes than they can
afford to, and losing unable to pay it is their
friends and acquaintance who are "let i'm by
them, who have the dsagreeable choice of
whether to post their quondam allies or silently
suffer the loss 1t seems a mistake now that
the only penalty that can be imposed on a man
for wilfully playing for higher stakes than he
can afford and then not paying his friends if he
loses, is to turn him out of his club it strikes
us q worse crime than the stealing of a loaf of
bread by poor starving wretch who, if he is
caught, gets two months.

Some Curious Wedding Rings.


In speaking of wedding rings, we learn that
these important symbols have not always been
manufactured from the precious metal, gold
We are told, that in lieu of ring the church key
has often been used; and Walpole tells of an
instance where curtain ring was employed
The Duke of Hamilton fell so violently in love
with the younger of the celebrated Misses Gun

that two days after he sent for parson to per
form the ceremony; but as the Duke had
neither license nor ring, the clergyman refused
to act Nothing daunted, Hamilton declared
he would send for the archbishop" At last

The Public Schools.

Representative Gordon strengthened him
self with the progressive portion of the peo-
pie on Tuesday, by his remarks on the bill
to consolidate the common school laws of
the State. He not only favored the general
purpose Of the bill, but he was willing, he
said, to go further than the bill did in the
direction of providing an ample and com
plete common school system. He did
not make a mistake when he said
that the General Assembly could give
its attention to no more important subject
than the improvement of the common
schools There are those who grudge every
cent that is appropriated for educational
PURPOSES but the majority of the people
believe that there is no other thing for
which public money could be appropriated
that would be productive of such beneficial
results, and would tend SO much to adj
vance the interests of the State as
the common schools In the course
of his remarks Representative Gordon said /:
Chatham county spends many times the
amount spent by the State in support of her
common schools. She pays it out of her
own pocket and thinks it money we'll spent.
In addition to what she now pays she would
willingly respond were a tax levied for the
support of the common schools of the State. y
Chatham county knows how great the ben
efts are which flow from good schools land she
can always be depended upon to exercise
her influence in behalf of the Improvement
of the public school system.
